[Statcvs-users] ant integration

[Philipp O. <web...@po...>]

Hi,
I'm just trying to integrate your tool into my ant script. It seems as if it's
impossible to generate the cvs' log from ant. When I execute the following task
CVS generates funny characters into the logfile, which prevent the statcvs-task
from working.

Is there a workaround available to use statcvs without manually generating cvslog ?

My versions are:
ANT: jakarta-ant-1.5.1-37
CVS: 1.11.5
CVSSTAT: 0.1.3

<ansnip>
<!-- cvsstat - 2004-04-03 -->
<target name="statcvs" depends="init">
<echo message="TASK: STATCVS running ...."/>

<echo message="Generating CVSLog .... " />
<exec dir="${statcvs.logfile.dir}" executable="/usr/bin/cvs" os="Linux"
output="../cvslog">
  <arg line=" log "/>
</exec>

<echo message="statCVS running.... " />
<taskdef name="statcvs" classname="net.sf.statcvs.ant.StatCvsTask"/>
    <statcvs
        projectName="StatCvs foo"
        projectDirectory="../"
		cvsLogFile="../cvslog"
        outputDirectory="${statcvs.output}"
        cssFile="http://statcvs.sf.net/stats/statcvs.css"

AFAICT your build file should work. I can't tell from your report if it's an
Ant, CVS or StatCvs problem.

You can try a development snapshot of StatCvs, maybe the problem was already
fixed:
http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/~cyganiak/statcvs/v0.2-dev/

If that doesn't work either: What error does StatCvs report? Can you share a
snippet of the CVS log that shows those funny characters?

Best regards,
Richard


P.S.: FYI, there's a CVS Ant task:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/cvs.html

Here's the Ant snippet I use for generating CVS logs:

  <property name="cvs.logfile" value="cvs.log"/>
  <target name="cvs.update">
      <cvs command="update -d"/>
  </target>
  <target name="cvs.log">
      <cvs command="log" output="${cvs.logfile}"/>
  </target>

Hi Richard,
thanks for your reply, sorry for the delay.

The problem seemed to be related to the path I run my ant from and the path I
run CVS log from.

I switched to your v0.2-dev and changed my ant script into:

<snip>

<echo message="Generating CVSLog .... " />
<!-- dest is important, otherwise CVS' log is generated in the
build.xml's directory, which is not CVSROOT -->
<cvs command="log" dest=".." output="../cvslog"/>

<echo message="statCVS running.... " />
<taskdef name="statcvs" classname="net.sf.statcvs.ant.StatCvsTask"/>
     <statcvs
        projectDirectory=".."
        cvsLogFile="../cvslog"
        outputDirectory="${statcvs.output}"
        cssFile="http://statcvs.sf.net/stats/statcvs.css"
        />
</target>

</snip>
